The Toronto Argos support the anthem protests by their peers south of the border — and related gestures by fellow teams in the CFL — but they will not stage their own protest in Hamilton this weekend. “That’s not been discussed so far,” Argos quarterback Ricky Ray said Thursday as the club wrapped up another day’s preparations for Saturday’s showdown with the Ticats. The topic of anthem protests was raised this week, with coach Marc Trestman addressing the players Tuesday. The CFL, like the NFL, advises its players about their obligations to stand for the anthem during training camp orientations. But last Sunday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders linked arms as a team during the Canadian anthem prior to their game.
